TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the possibility of extending their tourist visa on May 12th, just two days before expiration. Responses indicate that extending on the 12th is problematic because it falls on a Saturday when immigration offices are closed, and the following Monday is a holiday (Royal Ploughing Day). The recommendations suggest seeking an extension either on May 11th or May 15th, with a warning that May 15th may be particularly crowded.

There is no reason to wait until it almost expires to get your extension because they ADD the 30 days to your current expiration date.

Go this week because Tuesday the 15th is gonna be a mad house at all the immigration offices in the country

12th is a Saturday, and 14th is a Royal Ploughing day, immigration offices will be closed.

Go this week, or Tues 15th (but It'll be busy!!)

The only issue you'll face is that the 12th of May is a Saturday and immigration will be closed. Monday the 14th is a holiday too, so immigration will be closed. Your options are the 11th or the 15th.
